    Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance presents a reading of Saroyan's Hello
    Out There at ALMA

    Please join the Armenian Dramatic Arts Alliance for an afternoon of
    excitement and celebration at the Armenian Library and Museum of
    America on Sunday, June 11, 2006, at 3 PM.

    A Reading of William Saroyan's highly acclaimed short play HELLO OUT
    THERE will be directed by Zoya Khachadurian form New York City and
    will star Paul Schafer, Danielle Bauman, Jason Taylor, and Michele
    Markarian.

    William Saroyan is regarded as the greatest playwright of Armenian
    heritage in the 20th century. As a playwright, Saroyan is best known
    for his story "The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze" and his
    play "The Time of Your Life". His short wistful play "Hello Out
    There" was produced for the first time at the Lobero Theatre in Santa
    Barbara on Wednesday, the 10th of September, 1941, as the curtain-
    raiser to George Bernard Shaw's The Devil's Disciple. It was also the
    play in which Al Pacino made his Broadway debut. The play tells about
    the bad luck of an itinerant gambler who is arrested and jailed in a
    small Texas town, charged with rape. The charge is a lie, but the
    only one who hears his call for justice and understanding is a young
    girl who cooks for the jail. The gambler gives all his money to the
    girl before a mob breaks into the jail and the lying woman's husband
    shoots him. ADAA & ALMA will present the play reading at ALMA's
    contemporary art gallery on 3rd floor.


    The reading will be followed by a presentation by Jacqueline Kazarian
    Papasian, Saroyan's niece, who will share some stories about her
    uncle Bill.

    Please RSVP to ALMA @ 617.926.2562 ext. 3, or email [email protected]
    by 5pm on June 8. Seating is limited. Armenian Library & Museum of
    America is located at 65 Main Street, Watertown, MA
